Has anyone stayed at a clean, inexpensive, centrally-located ryokan
in Nikko, Japan? Did you take the train from Utsunomiya to Nikko? I
can't find a schedule for that train....

Use http://www.hyperdia.com/ for train look-ups.
There's a train approx. every hour from Utsonomiya to Nikko - fare is 740
Yen.

If it's inexpensive accommodation you're looking for in Nikko, there is a
Youth Hostel http://www5.ocn.ne.jp/~daiyayh/
Ryokans in Nikko tend to be fairly expensive due to the popularity of the
place. There is, however, plenty of medium-price accommodation.
